Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 (GLASGOW UNIVERSITY .LIBRARY: Abstract ABSTRACT This study sets out to explore what is characterised as the partnership process in an urban regeneration area. Rather than examine formal processes or policy, the intention was to explore the interaction between the active residents in the study area and the agents of some of the organizations with whom they came into contact. The area (Yoker) is at the western periphery of the city, but is neither a ‘peripheral estate’ nor until recently an area of formal policy intervention. It is typical of similar small areas in its industrial history and its difficulty in adjusting to changed economic circumstances. Its response has, however, been vigorous and based significantly on its own endogenous resources. In understanding the processes involved, the study has taken two broad approaches: the theoretical and the empirical, and is an attempt to relate the two as they can be seen to ‘interact’ on the ground. The theoretical approach has three strands (1) to understand the local working of power, (2) to examine the notions of social capital and collaboration and (3) to understand the local partnership process. Power, explored in terms of capacity and legitimacy and developed through consideration of ‘circuits of power and ‘hidden discourses’, is seen not as a discrete entity but as providing the base on which social capital and partnership working might be constructed and as a signifier of other social and economic relationships. Social capital is seen as grounded in local power relations and as providing a matrix within which local networks might be activated, and trust developed; the cognate notion of collaborative planning is seen as a mechanism for bringing ‘government’ and ‘community’ into a process of active cooperation. Finally, partnership working is seen as the ideal outcome of the interaction between local power and social capital, dependant not on formal processes or discourses but on the harnessing of local skills founded on capacity and need. The three Yoker case-studies are intended broadly to illustrate (rather than ‘prove’) some of these theoretical concerns in the field, but principally to allow local voices to articulate their perceptions of the issues within a semi-structured series of interviews. A brief comparative study in Drumchapel is intended to explore some of the differences between an area with a long history of policy intervention and an area like Yoker with no such history. The study concludes that a structured partnership approach will succeed best if founded firmly on local strengths and perceptions. 2 Table of Contents Table of Contents Page Abstract 2 Contents 3 List of Figures, etc. 6 Acknowledgements 8 Declaration 10 Chapter 1 - Introduction 11 Introduction - Background 11 The Study Area - The historical perspective 14 The Study Area - The statistical perspective 19 The Study Area - The policy perspective 33 The Structure of the thesis 41 Chapter 2 - Power 45 Introduction 45 The Origins of Power: Simple capacity 47 The Origins of Power: Legitimate capacity 50 Agency/Structure and the issue of scale 53 Circuits of power 57 Foucault’s theory of power 61 The entanglements of power 67 Interim summary and conclusions 68 Chapter 3 - Social Capital and Collaboration 70 Introduction 70 Community empowerment and the plus-sum view of power 71 Social capital and the salience of trust 73 Trust and trustworthiness 79 Social capital: Some counter-views 83 Collaborative planning 87 Interim summary and conclusions 93 3 Table of Contents Page Chapter 4 - The Partnership Process 95 Introduction 95 Partnership: A critical view 97 The background to the growth of partnerships 101 The discourse of partnership 103 Illustration: Progress in Partnership 105 The process of partnership 110 The conditions for partnership 114 Interim summary and conclusions 116 Chapter 5 - Methodology 119 Introduction 119 The nature of the study 122 Qualitative and quantitative methods 123 General methodological outline 124 The layout of the thesis 125 Archival search 126 The case-studies 128 Participant observation and the longitudinal approach 137 Interim summary and conclusions 140 Chapter 6 - The Youth Library Project 144 Introduction 144 The Project - The interviews 149 The project’s establishment - The positive use of power 150 The project’s operation - The empowerment phase 152 The project’s termination - The legacy of disempowerment 153 An alternative perspective - The views of the users 158 Interim summary and conclusions 162 Chapter 7 - The Advocacy (Incinerator) Project 166 Introduction 166 The Respondents 168 The minute record 169 The Interviews 171 Interim summary and conclusions 183 4 Table of Contents Page Chapter 8 - The Old School Project 186 Introduction 186 Particular methodology 187 The Project 188 The Building: Status and some pre-history 189 The Respondents 192 The Interviews 193 Interim summary and conclusions 202 Coda - Developments to date 204 Chapter 9 - The Drumchapel Study 206 Introduction 206 Drumchapel - The area profile 208 The Bid Submission 210 The Interviews: The ‘insider’ view 218 The Interviews: The ‘outsider’ view 225 Drumchapel and Yoker -Concluding remarks 230 Chapter 10 - Summary and Conclusions 232 Introduction 233 General summary - Introductory perspectives 233 The role of theory in the study 235 The case-studies 236 The Conclusions 237 (i) The Base: Power 238 (ii) The Matrix: Social capital and trust 243 (iii) The Product: Partnership 248 A consideration of outcomes - Theoretical and practical 250 Concluding remarks 252 General Bibliography 255 1.

  • Housing People Who Are Homeless in Glasgow
    Housing people who are homeless in Glasgow March 2018 Housing people who are homeless in Glasgow Summary This report sets out the findings from our review of how effectively Glasgow City Council and Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) house people who are homeless. Main findings The Council is not housing enough people who are homeless quickly enough. In 2016/17 it housed around half of those it had a duty to house. Some people are housed quickly; this works best when all partners have a clear focus on moving people who are homeless into a home quickly. The Council’s target of securing 3,000 homes for people who are homeless each year is too low for the number of people it assesses that it has a duty to house. It is not referring enough people to RSLs to meet the level of need from people who are homeless. Many people who are homeless have to wait a long time in temporary accommodation. The Council and its partners have made some important improvements to the process they use to find homes for people, and they are working together more effectively. The Council aims for a person-centred, needs-led approach to identifying solutions for people who are homeless. This is positive, particularly for people with multiple and complex needs. However, a full and detailed assessment is not necessary for everyone; many people who approach the Council need little help other than getting a home. The Council’s phased approach to assessing the housing needs of people who are homeless results in duplication of work and unnecessary delay in referring people who are homeless to RSLs.

    GLASGOW’S STRATEGIC HOUSING INVESTMENT PLAN 2017/18 - 2021/22 (Annex– Part 1) 1 Glasgow’s Strategic Housing Investment Plan 2017/18 to 2021/22 December 2016 2 2 Contents Introduction Context Investment Priorities: SHIP 2017/18 - 2021/22 Resources Delivery Contact Details Appendix 1: SHIP Glasgow’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) Tables Appendix 2: Development Constraints Identified by RSLs 3 3 Introduction Purpose of the SHIP The purpose of the Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) is to set out the priorities for investment in housing in Glasgow over the next 5 year period 2017/18 to 2021/22, and outline how the Council and its partners will deliver these priorities within very challenging financial and economic circumstances. The focus of the SHIP is on Glasgow’s Affordable Housing Supply Programme (AHSP) which delivers affordable housing, either to rent or buy, in the city. Also included are housing investment streams relating to the existing housing stock, and revenue investment, as these support or are actively partnered with the AHSP to maximise value for the city’s residents and communities. The Scottish Government issued new SHIP Guidance to local authorities in July 2016 which sets the requirements for plans covering the period 2017/18-2021/22. For the whole of Scotland, the 5- year target is to provide 50,000 affordable homes, of which 35,000 will be for social rent. The guidance states that “SHIPs will be the key documents for identifying strategic housing projects to assist the achievement of the 50,000 target”. Consultation on the SHIP The draft SHIP went out to consultation on 24 October 2016 for 4 weeks, in parallel with a consultation on the new draft Glasgow Housing Strategy.
